this is how my car used to look...ive never been a fan for body kits or anything for the GC, just stock jdm stuff since that looks the best IMO and isnt over the top either...btw keremy...did i mention my car is for sale? it would be a good swap canidate for ya hehe Adam's car has given me much inspiration with doing a GC swap and I've been long kicking around the idea for the past year or so...finally I came up on a RS with wrx conversion that adam gave me the tip on, so im buying it hehe

The reason why I bought a silverthorn metallic GC sedan was Cal's (1FastGC) old car when I first started peeping I-Club back in 2002. That car was bad ***.

i got mine because i preferred the old body style...no one really had it and GDs were everywhere....thats my excuse since i wasnt able to afford a wrx or sti at the time lol
but im glad i stuck with my GC, i love it to death and dont want another body style hehe

a buddy of mine is finishing up his 96 GC STi swap right now. It will have full STi interior as well as the 2.5L STi motor, drive line, and brembos.

We took a spin in it the other night..... It is just crazy fast, it zips to 40mph in the blink of an eye. And yes, it is faster then his stock STi and faster then a cobb stage 1 sti.

It makes me want one too. Damn him for letting me drive it!

I would LOVE to do that if I had the money. But a 98RS with WRX conversion will suit me just fine for the time being...then when the motor goes kahbluey....well it will get a 2.5L short block probably but hopefully that wont be for a few years hehe

Yes i love my 2000 coupe. My only problem is its too slow, and the engine is too quiet. Swap is an ultimate goal.. one day. It still holds its own in the twisties dont underestimate me

Krinkov is too "new-school" to appreciate and know what "spats" are...

There is nothing better than a 22B. That's my opinion, and y'all are welcome to it. Second to that IMHO is Adam's black '98. I really enjoy seeing that car on the track (I'm the safety guy who always gives you thumbs up). My dream includes my '01 BRP GM6 w/ a 2.5 turbo swap, and if I win the lottery - 22B fenders/quarter panels and CF hood, roof and trunk.

Here are some pics of my old car...

Some of you may actually remember it...


Sigh... Good old days when NOT having a turbo was cool...
